Paperspace " Blotch " Hatch

Hi All.

Having some issues with paperspace. I am working on a fairly detailed drawing, with numerous layers and blocks within blocks. When I am in model space the building layout is perfect, and all is how I want it. But as soon as I go into paperspace with my company page setup, a huge "blotch" like solid hatch appears. I have tried everything from exploding the block, and then blocking it up again, to even auditing the drawing. Nothing Works!! I am on a fairly tight deadline, so any help will be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

Could it be a scaling issue that makes the hatch appear blotch-like when viewed from your layout?

I have tried activating the viewport, and changing the hatch scale, and that doesn't work. I have even changed the hatch from solid to a normal ANSI31 Hatch. Nothing works. I have attached an image excluding the titleblock and job details for obvious reasons, but that is what appears in paperspace.

Is the hatch on a separate layer? If so, freeze it. Any signs of the "blotch" when you view it from your layout now?

Could it be a graphics card related problem? What make/model of card are you using?

Its on a seperate layer within the block. Freezing the hatch doesn't work either. The Graphics Card was my initial thought. Its an Nvidia Quadro FX 1000. Ancient Card I know, but it is the only CAD Machine in the office. Would use my Dell XPS Laptop but cant get access onto the company server. Checked the drivers for the Quadro and all seem to be up to date.

Need to test something here. Kill the block. Does the problem go away?

Have you done a sample plot of the area in question? Does the "blotch" plot?

The blotch reminds me of a hatch pattern that got out of control by leaking out a gap between two lines.

Checked the hatch boundry and all was ok. Dont know why that happened? But the problem has been solved by restarting the drawing along with alot of overtime!!

Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the update. Glad to hear the problem appears to be solved. Unfortunately we have no clear idea what caused it or do we?
